So I’m glad you did this video. I had a crazy problem happen to me. I just finished building the attachment and I was so siked up. Did the lat pull down and put around 180 pound no problem. Then when I tried to do the curls all hell broke loose! The wire got stuck and then got shredded and stuck. I was looking at your video and noticed it! That ball thats infront where you connect the curl to the clip. The washer was on the opposite side and it got jammed under the roller and then the black plastic part. I saw your video and noticed both washers of that ball thing where in front. My top was in front but the bottom wasn’t and I was like... this is so weird . Hopefully I can get a replacement. Your video saved me a ton of time

I have clearance issues where my rack is so my pull up bar is installed upside down, do you think theres anyway i could still make the lat pull down attachment work? I would be capable of fabricating another support if need be
@jofalltrades18162 жыл бұрын
There is one set of holes in the lat pulldown that would lower the overall height about an inch. The vertical tube has about 6" of play in it at the top. If you re-drilled holes you could lower the upper portion of the pulldown that extends over the rack. It mounts to the upper back cross brace so that would have to be lowered by re-drilling holes in the cage back uprights. The pull down bolts in in 3 places, you may have to add a bit of tubing on the back edge of hte pull up bar to fasten to. I think the trick would be shortening the cables so that they would have the right tension. there is some adjustment there but not too much.

From the back edge of the foot of the rack to the back edge of the foot for the pull down measures 18". I can add that this 18" also allows just enough room to put on 45lb plates, smaller plates would have more clearance of course.
